Meet the outrageous drag queen and TV cooking show host, Betty D. Licious, in her first live TV special. Betty and her band of back-up boys manage mess-ups and mishaps on camera, while off-stage she faces personal struggles with aging, losing friends, and being her authentic self. When Betty learns of a plot to end her TV series, hilarity and hysterics collide. Cookin’s a Drag is a wildly campy send-up with a poignant heart of gold.

Jewish Family & Children’s Service presents its monthly Memory Café on Thursday, May 2, 2019, at Beth El Congregation, 1118 W. Glendale Avenue in Phoenix, from 10 to 11:30 am. May’s special artists are the popular music duo of Shannon Wallace and Charles Lewis.

As musicians specializing in interactive music workshops for those of all ages living with all stages of dementia and cognitive impairment, Wallace and Lewis have developed the Musical Memory Care Workshop (MMCW) that provides participants with consistency, love, empathy, respect, and sincerity through music – the ingredients paramount for positive outcomes. Join us for an upbeat morning of music and fun.

The Café is a meeting place for those with changes in their thinking or memory, mild cognitive impairment or dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease or a related disorder, along with their care partners.  Offered on the first Thursday of the month, each Café has a new theme and includes meaningful, fun activities to engage the participants and stimulate their minds and bodies. Cafes are a place to socialize, relax, meet others and have fun.  Coffee and snacks are provided.

This month’s café is sponsored in part by Connections in Home Care, a locally-owned Home Care company providing excellence in in-home care to Valley seniors.  www.chcaz.org

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. The Café is open to people of all backgrounds. To register or for further information, please e-mail Kathy.rood@jfcsaz.org or call Kathy at 602-452-4627.
